The eyes that were originally childish but revealing a vicious look now showed an expression that was inconsistent with maturity and wisdom.
Su Xinyang calmly looked around at the surroundings, and the memories in his mind made him understand the environment he was in.
He actually went back to the eve of castration and entering the palace.
In his previous life, he had fought with two men from the Death Squad and nearly died.
When Su Xinyang thought about the twists and turns of the three of them in the previous life, where you cheated me, I cheated you, and you cheated him, he just felt so stupid that he was speechless.
The three of them were played around in circles.
At that time, he really thought that the old pervert Hong Gonggong was attracted by his appearance. Even though he knew that someone had poisoned him to disfigure him, he still took the risk. After that, the old pervert Hong Gonggong invited a doctor to treat him, but his face could not be saved and was half destroyed.
He still remembers that Eunuch Hong was so angry that he wanted to kill him. Fortunately, he was smart at that time and escaped the disaster.
But the result was that he was castrated and brought into the palace.
Eunuch Hong used fire to stoke the damaged half of his cheek, making the wound on his face the evidence of saving Concubine Xian from the fire, and turning him from an unknown eunuch into a popular eunuch beside Concubine Xian.
At that time, he was still feeling lucky that he had escaped.
But many years later, I realized that the reason why Eunuch Hong cared about me so much was not because he was attracted by his appearance, but because the power behind him was attracted by his face.
They planned to use someone else's trick and make themselves the eldest son of the Duke of Su, commanding the Northwestern Army.
Unfortunately, I fell into the trap.
It was many years later that I accidentally heard about this incident from the old scoundrel Eunuch Hong.
It is said that the man who sat on the throne of the Duke of Suguo was found by Prince Jing after much effort. As for why the son of Xie Sanlang's concubine was controlled, the reason was very simple. The son born to the concubine did not look like his biological mother, nor did he look like Xie Sanlang.
When the concubine gave birth to a son, Xie Sanlang just took a quick look at him and rushed to the battlefield, never to return.
The impostor they found was truly a waste. He failed to successfully command the Northwest Army, and instead let the son of one of Duke Su's subordinates inherit the position.
It's really rubbish.
Su Xinyang pinched his arm, and the clear pain in his arm told him that everything before his eyes was not an illusion before his death, but real.
He didn't know why he had to start over, but since he had this opportunity, how could he not seize it in this life.
Before he could sort out his memories, a servant came into the room carrying a bowl of medicine. He was surprised to see Su Xinyang waking up.
"Master, you are finally awake."
Su Xinyang looked at the other person with vigilance, "Who are you?"
"Master, I am your servant, my name is Wangcai."
"I don't know you. Where is this?"
The servant Wangcai said hurriedly, "This is Master Hong's residence. You hit your head, and Master Hong brought you to his residence for treatment. Here is the medicine, drink it while it's hot. I'll go and report to Master Hong first."
Wangcai put down the medicine bowl and hurried to inform Eunuch Hong.
Su Xinyang picked up the bowl of medicine. There was a piece of paper underneath the medicine with a line of small words clearly written on it - "This soup is poisonous and can disfigure your face."
When I think about my behavior in my previous life, I realize how brave I was to drink.
No one knows which force the person is that can do such a thing under the nose of Eunuch Hong.
Su Xinyang observed his surroundings with his sharp eyes and keenly realized that someone was secretly spying on him. He calmly picked up the medicine bowl, covered the mouth of the bowl with his sleeve, and poured the whole bowl of medicine through his sleeve into the bedding.
When he put the empty bowl aside, the feeling of being spied on disappeared.
Not long after, Eunuch Hong, who was busy with many affairs, entered the room, followed by a doctor.
Eunuch Hong had a gentle smile on his feminine face. "How do you feel? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Master Hong, I want to talk to you alone."
Eunuch Hong was stunned. After pondering for two seconds, he waved his hand, and the people in the room left, leaving only the two of them.
Su Xinyang handed a note to Eunuch Hong.
Eunuch Hong took it with confusion, and his expression changed drastically after he saw the contents clearly.
His eyes immediately turned to the empty bowl beside him, his expression changed again, and his voice unconsciously became a little sharper, "Did you drink it?"
"No."
Su Xinyang lifted the quilt.
Eunuch Hong looked at the wet bedding and breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that I have to clean out the people in the mansion. A cold light flashed across his eyes.
"You are quite clever. Don't worry, this won't happen again. We will find out who is behind it."
"Mr. Hong, can I ask you a question? Why are you so nice to me? Why did the person who wrote the note let me destroy my appearance?" Su Xinyang pretended to be a childish man with sharpness but no scheming.
Eunuch Hong didn't want him to know too soon, but after something like this happened, he was afraid that the person behind the scenes might come up with some tricks, so it would be better to tell him everything so that he could be mentally prepared and not be deceived.
"It doesn't hurt to tell you. You're going to be very successful."
"What do you mean?" Su Xinyang opened his eyes in confusion.
"We will send you to the Duke of Su's Mansion and let you take the position of the Crown Prince."
Su Xinyang's eyes widened, his mouth slightly opened, his voice trembling, "You, you said... the prince of the Duke's Mansion?"
Eunuch Hong was very satisfied with Su Xinyang's surprised expression. A person who was so lowly as to be in the mud suddenly became the prince of the Duke's Mansion. It could be said that he reached heaven in one step. No matter who it was, it would be the same.
After being shocked, Su Xinyang showed a calm attitude at the right time, "Then, then what do you want me to do?"
Eunuch Hong was surprised that the boy calmed down so quickly, and he became even more satisfied with him.
The smarter and more sensible he is, the better he can control the Northwest Army and the better he can help the prince.
"Don't worry, you don't need to do anything. You just need to please Duke Su and smoothly take over the Northwest Army from him. This is the task given to you by the master, and you can arrange the rest by yourself."
"Is it really that simple?"
Simple? !
Eunuch Hong almost laughed. Just asking for the favor of Duke Su was extremely difficult.
The reason is simple: Duke Su hates those beautiful women outside the most, not to mention the children born to those beautiful women.
In the eyes of Duke Su, legitimate children are the orthodox ones. He is extremely cold to children born to concubines, not to mention children born to illegitimate wives.
It is not easy to please him.
If they wanted to send this chess piece into the Duke's Mansion, they could not follow the path of Duke Su, but had to start with the old lady of the Duke's Mansion.
After all, the son of a concubine is also her son's bloodline.
Now there are no descendants in the Duke Su's Mansion, and I think the old lady will accept this only bloodline.
